Netscape : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Denial of service)

Netscape 6 and 8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large integer value for the length property of a Select object, a related issue to CVE-2009-1692.

AcroPDF.DLL in Adobe Reader 8.0, when accessed from Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unspecified resource consumption) via a .pdf URL with an anchor identifier that begins with search= followed by many %n sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-6027 and CVE-2006-6236.

Concurrency vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple Javascript timed events that load a deeply nested XML file, followed by redirecting the browser to another page, which leads to a concurrency failure that causes structures to be freed incorrectly, as demonstrated by (1) ffoxdie and (2) ffoxdie3. NOTE: it has been reported that Netscape 8.1 and K-Meleon 1.0.1 are also affected by ffoxdie. Mozilla confirmed to CVE that ffoxdie and ffoxdie3 trigger the same underlying vulnerability. NOTE: it was later reported that Firefox 2.0 RC2 and 1.5.0.7 are also affected.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4 and 7.2, and K-Meleon before 0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and delayed application startup) via a web site with a large title, which is recorded in history.dat but not processed efficiently during startup. NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue.

Netscape 7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a web page with an invalid regular expression argument to the JavaScript reformatDate function.

The POP3 mail client in Mozilla 1.0 and earlier, and Netscape Communicator 4.7 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (no new mail) via a mail message containing a dot (.) at a newline, which is interpreted as the end of the message.

Netscape Communicator 6.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service in client browsers via a webpage containing a recursive META refresh tag where the content tag is blank and the URL tag references itself.

The Web Publishing feature in Netscape Enterprise Server 3.x and iPlanet Web Server 4.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a wp-html-rend request.

Buffer overflow in Netscape 6 and Mozilla 1.0 RC1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long channel name in an IRC URI.

Netscape Collabra Server 3.5.4 and earlier allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending seven or more characters to TCP port 5239.

Memory leak in Netscape Collabra Server 3.5.4 and earlier allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) by repeatedly sending approximately 5K of data to TCP port 5238.

The Web Publishing feature in Netscape Enterprise Server 3.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via the REVLOG command.

The caching module in Netscape Fasttrack Server 4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by requesting a large number of non-existent URLs.

Buffer overflow in Netscape Directory Server 4.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a malformed recipient field.

Netscape Communicator 4.73 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a JPEG image containing a comment with an illegal field length of 1.

Netscape Enterprise Server in NetWare 5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a malformed URL.

Netscape Messaging Server 3.54, 3.55, and 3.6 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a series of long RCPT TO commands.

Netscape Communicator 4.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long certificate key.

Buffer overflow in Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.7 for Windows 95 and Windows 98 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long argument after the ? character in a URL that references an .asp, .cgi, .html, or .pl file.

Denial of service in Netscape Enterprise Server via a buffer overflow in the SSL handshake.

Denial of service in Netscape Enterprise Server (NES) in HP Virtual Vault (VVOS) via a long URL.
